What I do like is that if you override the styles by making a change to an individual paragraph without changing the styles the compiler will pick that up and make a CSS style for it. If you do the same kind of change to several paragraphs it will group them and make a single CSS entry thus it is cleaner for sloppy writers. I chased some of this down but currently try and avoid worrying much about the CSS and just add things if required.

I just couldn't deal with it. I stared at it once (having used a pre-cleaned Word file, that had Word-styles applied), and was appalled. If you could predict the styles that Atlantis was going to apply--I mean, the names--you could create clips for it, but as you can't...oish.
And, yes, I understand it's not meant to work like Sigil, (i.e., editing in ePUB view) but surely, they have SOME idea that people might want to do that? I guess not, having said it. Too bad, because other than that, which I consider unmanageable (it's like having to map Calibre styles, really), it's not bad at ALL.
